U2 is playing a free show in Berlin to celebrate the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The show will take place at Pariser Platz, just in front of the Brandenburg Gate and surrounded on three sides by buildings.

To prevent those without tickets from seeing the show, the fourth side is to be closed off by a more than two-meter high wall — just a few dozen meters from where the original Wall once stood.
